On driving, and warning signs that another driver is going to try to kill you.

[theweaselking]

Other people on the road are *dangerous*. So everyone develops early warning signs - filters they use to guess which of the other people on the road is going to do something stupid, and who they must pay extra attention to.

So, I want to know what *your* filters are for figuring out which other drivers are about to do something incredibly stupid. Note that behaviours like tailgating, swerving, racing up a lane that will end and trying to force your way in at the front, turning without signalling, etc are not on this list, because those are all behaviours that *show* dangerous stupidity, right now, not behaviours that warn you of future dangerous stupidity.

My two biggest warning signs are racing stripes (especially on a truck or a POS "sportscar" like a Camaro), and anything with "rice racer" style mods like a giant spoiler on a front wheel drive car.
